AS14618 is one of Amazon Web Services' primary ASNs. AWS is the world's largest cloud provider, hosting millions of applications including Netflix, Airbnb, Slack, Reddit, and countless others. AWS publishes a complete JSON file of all its IP ranges at ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json, updated multiple times per day. The sheer scale means AWS IPs appear in virtually every network's traffic logs.
Every time you visit a website, your IP address — and therefore your ISP (Amazon.com Inc.) — is visible to that site. Amazon.com Inc. as your ISP can see all unencrypted traffic passing through their network, including the domains you visit. This is standard practice for all ISPs and is typically used for network management, legal compliance, and in some cases targeted advertising.
If your device is assigned an IP in Amazon.com Inc.’s ranges, websites you visit will identify your connection as coming from Amazon.com Inc.. To prevent this, a VPN replaces your ISP-assigned IP with the VPN server’s IP, making your traffic appear to come from a different provider entirely.
AS14618 is registered with ARIN — the Regional Internet Registry responsible for IP allocations in North America. The ASN is used to announce IP prefixes to the global BGP routing table, allowing other networks to route traffic to Amazon.com Inc.’s infrastructure.
Amazon.com Inc. peers with major transit providers and internet exchanges to ensure global reachability. BGP peering relationships determine how traffic flows between Amazon.com Inc. and the rest of the internet.
